After Gu Nian and Gu Yingxue left, the Gu family began making preparations.
This time, only the two elders and Gu Xin went back to their hometown. However, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu still have a business in Kuncheng, and they need to take care of it. They may not be able to come back for a while after going back to their hometown.
Before leaving, Grandpa Peng treated the Gu family to a meal.
During the banquet, Grandpa Peng announced the marriage of Peng Erlang and Xie Zhiyi, planning to hold the wedding for the two children in October this year. They are now six years old, and there are still three months to prepare.
Xie Zhiyi is a month younger than Gu Xin and is sixteen this year. It's time for her to get married. Peng Erlang is already in his early twenties, so they can't delay.
The Gu family sincerely congratulates Old Master Peng, Second Madam Peng, and Second Son Peng.
Madam Peng was quite satisfied with Xie Zhiyi. This girl was loyal and righteous, beautiful, and skillful, though not good at martial arts. But the Peng family didn't need every girl to be a female general.
After Peng Erlang and Xie Zhiyi's relationship was settled, Gu Xin asked about Peng Silang and Huo Yanyu.
Huo Yanyu is more troublesome than Xie Zhiyi.
Huo Yanyu was the eldest daughter of the third branch of the Huo family, which produced three prime ministers. Her family lived in the capital, while her father was serving in Jiangnan. Since they lived in different places, the wedding process would take at least half a year.
This time, Grandpa Peng planned to personally return to Beijing to handle this matter for his grandson. He had argued with Grandpa Huo for half his life and had once thought of abducting a girl from the Huo family to be his wife. His grandson had accomplished what his son had failed to do, and he was very happy. He also gave Peng Silang many precious things.
Seeing Old Master Peng's smug look, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu couldn't help but think that when the old man returned to the capital, he would be tormented by the Huo family. It was too early for them to be happy.
General Peng asked Gu Shouxin, "Second Brother Gu, when will your transfer order come through? I think Xiao Qian has done a pretty good job during his six months as the prefect of Kunzhou. The Emperor should transfer you back to the capital!"
General Peng sighed, "Brother Gu, this time you're being transferred back to the capital, and to be honest, I'm quite reluctant to see you go. Without you, Kunzhou wouldn't have been able to develop."
Gu Shouxin smiled and shook his head: "This matter depends on the Emperor's will. If the Emperor feels that Kunzhou needs me, then I will naturally be in Kunzhou. We, as subjects, are just like bricks; wherever the Emperor says that a brick is needed, he will move us there!"
The three Peng brothers all burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."
General Peng raised his glass: "In recent years, our Peng and Gu families have gotten along well. The marriage between Aze and Huihui has further deepened the feelings and relationship between our two families. Come, in-laws, Second Brother Gu, Fourth Brother Gu, let's have a drink together!"
The three Peng brothers and the three Gu brothers all stood up, clinked glasses, and drank the wine in their glasses.
The two did get along quite well. The only unpleasant thing was after Yin Yueli and Gu Xin had an accident. But the Peng family's attitude made the Gu family's resentment disappear. As the eldest grandson of the Peng family and Gu Xin's brother-in-law, Peng Ze went to the unknown Western Land without hesitation in the early days of their marriage. For this reason alone, the Gu family would not have any complaints about the Peng family's eldest branch.
The two families enjoyed the meal very much.
The next day, before dawn, Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin set off with Grandpa and Grandma Gu back to Sanchakou Village. There were only two cars, and apart from the driver, there was no one else accompanying them.
